Lobo & Lobo Super Traq Coil Question

[WILL_PENNY]

are these coils interchangable.

No way, no how. They not only have different connectors, they are functionally incompatible. If by chance you have some original Lobo coils and no detector, I would be interested in hearing about it.

Both old Lobo's and the later Lobo's use a four pin connector, but the older Lobo's uses a four male pin connector, the Lobo Super Trac uses a four pin female connector.

From my research so far the older Lobo's ran at a higher frequency (20kkhz) while the Lobo Super Trac runs at 17.5khz. So far the information I've read claims the two coils are different and not compatible with the other machine.

Here is the picture of the Four Pin male connector.

That depends if its a Four Pin Male, or a Four Pin Female?

Original coils have 4 pins - male connector.

are these coils interchangable.

If so, or if they could be rewired too, then they would also work on the other models that fall into the current "Delta Series Group" which would be any of the below models,
Tejon,
Vaquero,
Lobo ST, and the
Cibola.

And if that would be the case then I would for sure be looing for a deal on one of those 3.5"x 7" Lobo/Diablo coils for my Tejon.

According to Rusty Henry at Tesoro, the original Lobo coils cannot be rewired or in anyway adapted to any machines other than the original logo or the earlier Diablo detectors.
